Gods!.... Pushing blame on to each others countries for something that happened centuries ago is..... is.... kinda petty in my opinion. Guess I feel that way because of my multi-cultural heritage: I'm BRITISH-Danish and have lived in Germany. At NO country doesn't have a blemished past. My Danish ancestors invaded Britain, my Scottish-English-Irish ancestors fought each other, the English ancestors hung each other, my German friends' country made my Polish relatives disappear......
What I'm trying to say is that no country is without blame and that bitching back and forth doesn't do anything ;) Oh! And I forgot to mention the French and germans in the family! Hell! We fought the frogs for centuries and the germans in WW1 and WW2 and now they're just part of the family! Yay for multi-nationality! :P
I'm a Scotsman, with strong Irish heritage and I am also British! My family on both sides has been on this Isle since Pax Romana and I don't see how a country in baby clothes can even attempt to judge! You know nothing about us! Otherwise you'd be aware that it's not inside your ability to understand... some countries like mine spent hundreds even thousands of years fighting for a strip of land... you had guns and were practical handed a land of your own! How can you judge us?!
@ChapterGrim My Dad is half Scottish (with part Irish ancestory) and half English - he was asked by a Dane once if he was English... My Dad just looked at him and went "I'm BRITISH!"... But yeah, people don't always get the distinction ;)
"You are not yet a Nun...." yep,here comes another one for old Sharpe. Is there an english speaking Woman on the entire Iberian penninsula that hasnt thrown themselves at him? Not counting the weird partisan(or rather жіночий партизанський judging by her accent.)woman from the previous film. Mind you ,Emily Mortimer,you would,wouldnt you....:)
one thing i dont like about the series is how weak the french are. They're like so soft in these sharpe films. Hell, my grandmother can fight better than the French in this movie. The fact that the "soldiers" in the beginning who got slaughtered and immediately routed were supposed to be imperial guards just bothers me.
Why do people have to come here to bash on the UK and the past. It just stinks of butthurt lol. Just enjoy the uploads and be greatfull for the time the user put into sharing them with us. Bringing politics and inferior complexes onto a damn good series is pathetic!
first time ive ever watched a 'sharpe' .. im bloody impressed how nice this is for the budges they got to make it with ! i also love he man who plays wellington he really got a feel for it ! :DDDDDD
@janfuncouple 'founded' is a western word used to disguise what is essentailly theft. The US was inhabitted by people long before it was 'founded', they lived there without western influence. Now look at them, being shoved to the most infertile, shit pieces of land, unable to live a proper life and the good bits of land they have, they are kicked off so that big American companies can make millions of dollars of profit that they don't need.
No need for the (any) military- unnecessary violence
You forget that England is the cradle of western civilization and the US was founded based on anglo saxon beliefs. Having said this, I have served in the US Army and also with the 3d RTR as an exchange officer.
fact is, its pax americana now, and it was pax britannia from the end of waterloo till the 20th century, so its america's time now, and it was our time then. both nations have had their turn, so both are as great as each other.
Sharpe fans - for those who have read Sharpe's Devil, what do you think about it being a great candidate for the next Sharpe film. It takes place in 1820 and has a interesting plot taking place in South America - I just finished it and thought the casting possibilities would be interesting. Thoughts?
So I just saw an attractive young nun, or a woman dressed as one, in the opening scene, with some hair coming from underneath a loose habit. My first thought: "Yeah, Sharpe is gonna tap that."
as many experts point out most of the crap on the web is just that and unfortunately it's endorsed by the prepubescent teens that haunt you tube. ironically that secluded nation we all love to hate i.e. the US. is the worlds largest web user with its formidably s**t education system polluting adolescents worldwide. like movie's of books (like LotR) we see the truth chunks missing, twisted story and of course action-packed bull-crap! All Hail Liberty!
I'm British myself, but I have to point out your false information of LOTR, which was produced, written and directed by a New Zealander, not by Americans.
all these Americans comparing themselves to the British empire!
Shut Up
It was and to a degree still is the largest empire in the history of man, America does not even come close to the amount of resources needed thats why the empire collapsed. its laughable!
@ChapterGrim Oh no, Grim. We do not compare ourselves to the British. No country in the history of the world has assaulted, killed, or enslaved as many unwilling country's as have the British. Unless you with to claim that they became part of your "glorious" empire by their own desire, as opposed to being persuaded by Brown Bess. Oh, we've had our moments, but YOU are still the greatest enslavers of foreign countries in the history of the world. We would never claim differently.
@steveirwinledgend You stood and fought and so did we the Swedes invading Denmark since we could not take back Finland from the Russians because they changed side from Napoleons allies.
@Rikki0 so if ireland was so great back then why is it not called great ireland, or even have an empire? britain ruled 1/4 of the globe you are just too patriotic to ireland for your own good, look at facts rather than propaganda m8
@Rikki0 The scots? slaves? braveheart was a fictional film mate you need to read some real history books. Scotland has tried to invade England probably more than we have invaded them the only difference is that when they crossed the border they were sent packing by a bunch of angry yorkshiremen. while their tactics on the other hand was to bribe us and make us leave by political means. What country was the first four kings of the UK from... that's right SCOTLAND.
@PresentAssassin When someone bashes my country, they can expect to get bashed back. However PresentAssassin, you certainly have the right to sit and simply accept their bashing your country without recourse. I would never attempt to deny your rights. Please don't attempt to deny mine.
@jasper0192837465 My ancestors were Irish actually, Jasper. However, I am 100% American. But if you will look back at the posts that started this whole mess you will see that I was simply defending my country against an attack by one of your countrymen. Why is it that when an American defends his country against an attack no one ever says anything to the guy who initiated the attack? You always come down on the American and ignore the European who started the mess in the first place. Odd.
@Rikki0 shut up you titwank. if you are 100% american, therefore you're not irish, your ancestors might have been but you are not. also the last thing people in ireland want is people like you stirring the shit about things like the ira, no one likes terrorists, we dont like the ira, you should respect that just as we respect the people who died in 9/11.
@macgize Fascinating reply, The first half of it mimiced what I had already said and the second half talked about things that I never once mentioned in a single post (ie. IRA, Terrorists, 9/11, etc ). Seems you simply pulled them out of your Macg..ass to stir up trouble. Perhaps you should have less caffeine with your Guiness.
@Rikki0 You hold the title of an american, but not the genetic code. Your ancestors may well have been irish, most of whom are descandants of the english when we took it over (or bits of it were in our control) about 700-800 odd years ago, and then you have the whole mess of norweigans, normans, saxons, etc. Also @lotsodakka hahaha, i see what you did there. But still, i cant be bothered to take sides, so take this as a footnote.
Your country has never been great. I don't necessarily hate Americans, but never compare your nations prestige to ours, they're two fucking different ends of the spectrum.
@GrawrawrLPs Wow just shut up idiot, Britain has controlled a quarter of the world, and America was able to raise close to 20 million soldiers in World War 2 to help liberate Europe and also help you guys retake the colonies you lost to Japan...If someone says that they uphold your country as great as their own, you dont respond to that saying"They're at two fucking different ends of the spectrum".. Moron take a damn compliment without responding with insults you racist asshole
I'll admit you were a darn good help in ww1, but certainly not in ww2, you only hoped on because Japan attacked you. Then again I suppose I am being a hard ass and I'm loling at how I'm addressing you like you're America. But seriously dude, your country has no near the amount of prestige and history as ours does, but it still doesn't go without saying that America is pretty cool.
@Rikki0 we did end slavery and we didn't fight a civil war over it. and before that it was illegal to own a slave in the british isles so the irish and scottish stopped being enslaved at the same time as the english
@Rikki0 I am a scot with a family that fought the English for three hundred years and more in Ireland and home! You Americans know shit about our history, you barely know your own! You know nothing about Europe! What are you a country that exist because British foreign policy and lack of funds due to a mass number of conflict all over a massive empire said so!
@Rikki0 I'd love to comment on that as I am a Scotsman dipshit so... and no-one in my family is or was a slave! Our PM is Scottish and our King is more Scottish than English... plus the SCOTS Half the Guards Regiments are based in Scotland so... don't comment on what you don't know!
@Rikki0 Fuck off, the scots are more respected than the Yanks, at least they contributed and were part of the greatest empire the worlds ever seen rather than killing tens of thousands of innocent american indians...
@Rikki0 Who freed the slaves first... and remember at that point you we're still British! Enslaved... most developed counties exist thanks to European expansion; you included! You upheld all our faults where we learned, look at the Native Americans! No empire is perfect... no doubt about that! But America is not the vaunted "land of the free" at least we have the courtesy to try and repair the damage we did in stead of ignoring it, besides we tend to win the wars we start... politic not helping!
wtf? which book where you reading? in sharpe's sword he takes a sword in the stomache, or was shot i cant remeber,the only time he took a sword to the head was at assaye,but he was saved by the tipoo sultan's ruby...
what the hell are you talking about? those guys were pretty much the British armies 'special forces', which like todays special forces, SAS, SEALS, usually work in small groups, Sharpe is a fighting officer more than a commanding officer, I mean shit today's Delta force squads are usually commanded by a major or colonel with a captain in second command?
Yes we fight to help people which is more than i can say for other countries. Our founding fathers founded this country on God and that if we have the power and ability to help others we should. You can't say the same for the french.
the french brang about the idea of a new world free from papists and superstitions and monarchy brining europe from the middle ages to the enlightenment
United States are just a bounch of rebels and without the help of the french they would fail BIG TIME Not even 200 years old and they fuck up everything allready
economy , war's they cannot finish + Almost the whole world Hate or fear them
Dreadnought2142 Ah yes doesn't every large empire or country face that dilemma, no one truly likes you, but rather they fear you . . . Britain had its day in the sun, US is on the later end of theirs, other numerous countries went through heights of power, so really we've all been at the receiving end of verbal abuse. Feel good to vent on a Sharpe movie comment board? Keep up the good fight brother, you let those rebel history buffs know what you think of them lol You sound like you need a hug
i dunno,most comments pages on sharpe end up as this too. awlways people bitching about america being shiete or other countries being shite.there are plenty of forums where people can argue this,why can't they go there?
The army of Lozzy is superior to any of which has been mentioned. Just me... Just a saber.. thats all I need.. and Im a 1 man army.. I'l take you all out. FEAR ME!
for god's sake people, all the arguing over which army is better? just enjoy the show. I'm American too, and whether or not I think Britain is full of anti-American faggots that need to get over the war of independance, is irrelivant. Instead let's agree that this show is awsome!
Lol @ usa never lost a war. Um does the names vietnam & korea mean anything to you.....Now c mon lad dont start saying "oh we avent lost there we're still fighting those commie bastards". Because if you are then you're the biggest bullshit artist on here.
I wonder where madhammu is from? For a guy that post " Shalom

on his web space, he sure doesn't practice what he preaches! Makes me laugh how he uses a fictional story like sharpe as a setting to launch hate messages. bet he has a real nice life, in a cushty quiet street and went to a private school. GET A LIFE. p.s SHALOM haters!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This should be banned, it's racist. They should remake it with at least half of the Red Coats as Pakistanis and every soldier should kiss the quran before battle. If it's not remade, it's racist.
before saying things like that u should documents yourself, The peninsula war didn't really involve indo pakistanese troop (sepoy, and other) because those native "indian" troops were too involve in war in india at the same time. The british army of this war was a vast majority of irish, then scots, then english and welch... So keep u poor comments u ignorant. And if uwant proof just read the battle of order of wellesley for the peninsula war....
If anyone in Britain thinks I'm bullshitting, they're living under a rock. It's labors vision to wipe out British culture and replace it with a multi cultural, savage society, where Muslims gangs and Hoody thugs own the streets and where opposition to the Labor regime can be met with legal penalty. Try speaking out against the Islamification of your country, or use force to protect yourself from attack and see what your country will do to you.
if you thnk its labour thats fucking us, you'd be wrong~ its the peace loving human rights bastards that control us
the only way to sort out this country is with violence...it IS the only way, but the EU say we can't, and the average person thinks its a little harsh.....
the people have no shame and no honour like we used to......
few things you are alrite on but the whole 'labour is the problem' BS is just sad you think this is the first time someone has blamed the goverment nah, same thing was done with the football holigans back in the 80's and loads of other times
im not a fan of labour but not really a gud excuse as to why the country is going to pot ,you live in the usa i guess which is full of more corrupt dicks than anywhere else
you obviously dont know much.... and the fact is that most other countries bull shit alot more than the uk, usa being right up there most muslim countries,
wimps ? yehaok mate not even a need to go into that we produce the best soldiers in the world bar none
im guessing your defo from the states wud travel around if i was you and see what the world thinks about your country and the uk before you make shit up
and no unlike the usa britain doesnt re write that much of there history
Please stop boasting about U.K please. If we alltogether want to see the American Empire crumble like Rome and never rise again! We must work together and make insults towards the Americans, not boast of which armies the best in the world.
First of all USA USA USA USA...You say the US bull shits well we did i will admit with Bush but not with Obama we dont he's a real leader. You also cant be talking about bull shiting if i recall your leader is so unpopular that the labor party has lost seats in he European Parliament to the BNP Party.
Britian May have the best navy but not the best soldiers that would be the USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA Never lost a war and dont plan to Americans are the best damn fighters in the world
you reli are living in a dream world except about obama
and gordon brown he wasnt voted in unlike bush was amongst other crap presidents
and no the whole world knows how good the british troops have always been usa doesnt even come close
uve never lost a war , vietnam, the cold war , korea, iraq, afghanistan, i could go on
the only wars you have won is ww1, ww2 and the american independance these wars you were heavy favourites by being about 9x more troops than the opposition
In the Revolutionary War the american armies were made up of farmers and people from the cities and if your armies were the best in the world then how come they could not defeat us not only that but America had no industrial factories to speak of and the british controlled the sea so we really had a lack of arms and we still one the war... Vietnam and korea were strategic withdrawals and we are currently fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. The cold war seriously that wasnt a war
yes....seems utterly rediculous doesn't it......and you seem to miss the fact that the US had allied itself with France, then later spain: two of the worlds great superpowers at the time
it wasnt american superiority, it was the good old fashioned british - french hatred that led to independence
oh, and for everyone debating whos got the best armies....its impossible to tell unless theres world war 3...where everybody is desperately fighting for survival rather than money~
because you had support from the bleeding french that's why we lost in revolutionary war. without the frog consultants you yanks would be fucked over by our armies big time. So the credit wasnt all down to the "americans" it was shared with the french. have you forgotten that yanker?
and dont the spanish also played a big part for the yanks attacking the souhern colinies with 8,000 men and also we two more armies coming in from canada but britain decided it would cost to much because the yanks wouldnt pay taxes and just keep rebeling after the war
i have never seen the series before, i just got into it but i can see a pattern does sharpe have sex with this girl to?

@Rikki0 so if ireland was so great back then why is it not called great ireland, or even have an empire? britain ruled 1/4 of the globe you are just too patriotic to ireland for your own good, look at facts rather than propaganda m8

@Rikki0 The scots? slaves? braveheart was a fictional film mate you need to read some real history books. Scotland has tried to invade England probably more than we have invaded them the only difference is that when they crossed the border they were sent packing by a bunch of angry yorkshiremen. while their tactics on the other hand was to bribe us and make us leave by political means. What country was the first four kings of the UK from... that's right SCOTLAND.

@PresentAssassin When someone bashes my country, they can expect to get bashed back. However PresentAssassin, you certainly have the right to sit and simply accept their bashing your country without recourse. I would never attempt to deny your rights. Please don't attempt to deny mine.

jasper0192837465 1 year ago
@jasper0192837465 My ancestors were Irish actually, Jasper. However, I am 100% American. But if you will look back at the posts that started this whole mess you will see that I was simply defending my country against an attack by one of your countrymen. Why is it that when an American defends his country against an attack no one ever says anything to the guy who initiated the attack? You always come down on the American and ignore the European who started the mess in the first place. Odd.
Rikki0 1 year ago
@Rikki0 shut up you titwank. if you are 100% american, therefore you're not irish, your ancestors might have been but you are not. also the last thing people in ireland want is people like you stirring the shit about things like the ira, no one likes terrorists, we dont like the ira, you should respect that just as we respect the people who died in 9/11.

@macgize Fascinating reply, The first half of it mimiced what I had already said and the second half talked about things that I never once mentioned in a single post (ie. IRA, Terrorists, 9/11, etc ). Seems you simply pulled them out of your Macg..ass to stir up trouble. Perhaps you should have less caffeine with your Guiness.
Rikki0 1 year ago
@Rikki0 You hold the title of an american, but not the genetic code. Your ancestors may well have been irish, most of whom are descandants of the english when we took it over (or bits of it were in our control) about 700-800 odd years ago, and then you have the whole mess of norweigans, normans, saxons, etc. Also @lotsodakka hahaha, i see what you did there. But still, i cant be bothered to take sides, so take this as a footnote.

@GrawrawrLPs Wow just shut up idiot, Britain has controlled a quarter of the world, and America was able to raise close to 20 million soldiers in World War 2 to help liberate Europe and also help you guys retake the colonies you lost to Japan...If someone says that they uphold your country as great as their own, you dont respond to that saying"They're at two fucking different ends of the spectrum".. Moron take a damn compliment without responding with insults you racist asshole

I'll admit you were a darn good help in ww1, but certainly not in ww2, you only hoped on because Japan attacked you. Then again I suppose I am being a hard ass and I'm loling at how I'm addressing you like you're America. But seriously dude, your country has no near the amount of prestige and history as ours does, but it still doesn't go without saying that America is pretty cool.

@Rikki0 we did end slavery and we didn't fight a civil war over it. and before that it was illegal to own a slave in the british isles so the irish and scottish stopped being enslaved at the same time as the english

@Rikki0 I am a scot with a family that fought the English for three hundred years and more in Ireland and home! You Americans know shit about our history, you barely know your own! You know nothing about Europe! What are you a country that exist because British foreign policy and lack of funds due to a mass number of conflict all over a massive empire said so!

@Rikki0 I'd love to comment on that as I am a Scotsman dipshit so... and no-one in my family is or was a slave! Our PM is Scottish and our King is more Scottish than English... plus the SCOTS Half the Guards Regiments are based in Scotland so... don't comment on what you don't know!

You upheld all our faults where we learned, look at the Native Americans! No empire is perfect... no doubt about that! But America is not the vaunted "land of the free" at least we have the courtesy to try and repair the damage we did in stead of ignoring it, besides we tend to win the wars we start... politic not helping!

what the hell are you talking about? those guys were pretty much the British armies 'special forces', which like todays special forces, SAS, SEALS, usually work in small groups, Sharpe is a fighting officer more than a commanding officer, I mean shit today's Delta force squads are usually commanded by a major or colonel with a captain in second command?

before saying things like that u should documents yourself, The peninsula war didn't really involve indo pakistanese troop (sepoy, and other) because those native "indian" troops were too involve in war in india at the same time. The british army of this war was a vast majority of irish, then scots, then english and welch... So keep u poor comments u ignorant. And if uwant proof just read the battle of order of wellesley for the peninsula war....

If anyone in Britain thinks I'm bullshitting, they're living under a rock. It's labors vision to wipe out British culture and replace it with a multi cultural, savage society, where Muslims gangs and Hoody thugs own the streets and where opposition to the Labor regime can be met with legal penalty. Try speaking out against the Islamification of your country, or use force to protect yourself from attack and see what your country will do to you.

the only wars you have won is ww1, ww2 and the american independance these wars you were heavy favourites by being about 9x more troops than the opposition
jj198777 2 years ago
In the Revolutionary War the american armies were made up of farmers and people from the cities and if your armies were the best in the world then how come they could not defeat us not only that but America had no industrial factories to speak of and the british controlled the sea so we really had a lack of arms and we still one the war... Vietnam and korea were strategic withdrawals and we are currently fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. The cold war seriously that wasnt a war
floridagators888 2 years ago
yes....seems utterly rediculous doesn't it......and you seem to miss the fact that the US had allied itself with France, then later spain: two of the worlds great superpowers at the time
it wasnt american superiority, it was the good old fashioned british - french hatred that led to independence
oh, and for everyone debating whos got the best armies....its impossible to tell unless theres world war 3...where everybody is desperately fighting for survival rather than money~
eroticfish 2 years ago
because you had support from the bleeding french that's why we lost in revolutionary war. without the frog consultants you yanks would be fucked over by our armies big time. So the credit wasnt all down to the "americans" it was shared with the french. have you forgotten that yanker?
matt2house 2 years ago
and dont the spanish also played a big part for the yanks attacking the souhern colinies with 8,000 men and also we two more armies coming in from canada but britain decided it would cost to much because the yanks wouldnt pay taxes and just keep rebeling after the war
